villa4europe Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 after struggling to get involved i managed to catch the shooting bronze and the diving bronze so far, currently watching the gymnastics but dont think ill last for the rugby 7s, could be 4 bronzes tonight 2 rugby 7s games a couple of hours apart seems a bit grueling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 this could be better than bronze for the gymnasts... that nile wilson could be in for the horizontal bar individual too, absolutely smashed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CardiffGreens Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Don't think so, just looked like Canadia were really up for it, played a really physical game and GBR didn't really offload/quick ball from the breakdown enough to make use of their quicker players and jsut ended up getting counter rucked off the park. Shame, but there we are. On the plus point, one of the Germany beach volleyballers is sporting one of the most ridiculous hats you'll see in a sporting arena.

It probably would have been helped if they had laid out a few padded gym mats around the most dangerous corners though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) whilst watching the gymnastics last night and some american bloke did the parallel bars, did nothing special on it, scored something low 15 (bearing in mind the chinese had just destroyed it...) landed, the chant for "U-S-A" started up, he started screaming, pointing at his team mates "lets do this" "come on" "we got this" i was **** delighted when that bloke fell off the horizontal bars and there was a diver called Steele...first name of Steele...im not having that Edited August 9, 2016 by villa4europe 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
